Re: Week 4: The private sector and the implementation of programs
Mapping out Private Sector Organizations(PSOs) based on their service delivery/areas of operations.
- Involvement based on service delivery area.
- Continous update of PSOs information.
- Advocacy visits to some PSOs.
- Involve PSOs in planning of activities around their area, and engage them in implementation.
- Scale up the involvement of Private Sector Organizations (PSOs) that are committed in their service delivery areas as continous use promotes expertise and capacity.

Re: Week 4: The private sector and the implementation of programs
In my perspective
It has to begin with strong involvement of the private sector in the CCMs. This will give an opportunity for the private sector to play a strong role.
Also information about Global fund has not been well disserminated to the private sector to participate, taking an example of Tanzania, there is need to communicate strongly on how private sector could access Global fund. So far very few if not two have been able to access Global fund money as private sector.

Re: Week 4: The private sector and the implementation of programs
Private sector is the engine for growth in every nation. Therefore their participation in GF funding programs is very important. GF can promote their activities from the following angles:
- Training; The GF should give the actors training on how to interact with the affected people. The training should be organizing half yearly to upgrade their knowledge.
- Financial Assistance; Programs of the private sector participant should be sponsored by GF. GF should give them annual grant to help them cover some of their administrative expenses. This will make them financially sound and stay in business to contribute to the implementation of GF funding programs.
- Provision of campaign. Input needed to facilitate their programs should be partly funded by the GF. Input such as automobile, horns Mosquito nets etc.

Re: Week 4: The private sector and the implementation of programs
Dear friends,
To combat HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria, it is first and foremost, a legal and political obligation of the states, regional and international inter-governmental organizations. It is one of the responsibilities of the civil society including private sectors. It is a moral and ethical duties of all individuals especially policymakers, intellectuals, legal protectors, teacher, scientists, opinion leaders like artists, journalists, academicians, athletes as well as community, religious and political leaders.
The private sector is the most powerful ruler of finance in this world. They are the important stakeholder and an effective partner in addressing HIV/AIDS in the world. Not only in financing but has innovative approaches to finance programme and sustain them.
EFFICIENCY OF PRIVATE SECTORS COULD BE APPLIED IN THE AGENDA OF THE GLOBAL FUND TO ACHIEVE EFFECTIVE PROGRAMME IN HIV/AIDS, TB, MALARIA:
- Develop policy and strategy work
- Economic and sector works
- Advocacy
- Develop work place
- Develop capacity building
GlobalFund can include the impact of HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria on the business climate and on business indicators in advocacy and policy document
Thank you all.

Re: Week 4: The private sector and the implementation of programs
Received GF implementation observation from South-east Asian participants. Regarding fate of GF implementation process in developing countries I would like to give socio-economic, GDP, socio-technical, human development, human genome, cultural diversity factors for developing countries rather than specific mentality.
GF program implementation in third world & developing countries requires greater sensitivity, flexibility & performance evaluation of intervening variable for long term objectives.
In long term objective, highly critical factors are social expectations, wide spread consumer movements in developing countries, private sectors involvement could be a solution of highly critical factors in implementation of GF program.
Regarding involvement of private sectors, I would like to give my experience with no. of pharmaceutical companies with international structure. I took no.of measures for analysis of highly critical factors in which i included institutional mechanism, price control mechanism,availability of essential drugs,establishment of marketing channels, reducing organizational conflict for desirable end results.
As an independent evaluation & country partnership from South-east Asian region I have sent country-co-ordinating mechanism (calling for proposals) since 2004 titled:
-Rehabilitation of opiate dependent
-Anti-Dengue/Anti-Malaria contraceptive
-Dengue/DSS
-Int.measures
-Therapeutic cloning
-Zoning principle
-approved abstract(wcapa)CANADA
-Endemicity prevention information
-Serological techniques
-HIV- encephalopathy
-Tsunami crippling
-Revised prevention
-Accessment of HGP
-Positioning& development
-Pathogenesis
-resources mobilization
-strategic intervention & universal coverage
-essentials accessment
-GLOBAL-FUND forum 2006
-Replenishment process(FICCDAT)CANADA
-Conventional technology
-coverage& response
-accountable mechanism(ICE-AUSTRALIA)
-resource moblilzation
-Global-non-proliferation system
-GNPT/NPT/MECHANISM
-UN-funding system
-Clean Space Objectives(CNN-INTERNATIONAL)
-e-Forum 2008- continue
Above mentioned proposals & mechanism were based on highly critical factors for human development .Above proposals& mechanism had given geographical connectivity to affected population, grass-root solutions, health system strengthening, accessment of governance policies & procedures.
Thank you,

Re: Week 4: The private sector and the implementation of programs
I agree with the importance of the private sector in the fight against the three diseases. Not only the public sector or the civil society is sufficient to effectively and efficiently implement the GF programs at country level.
The engagement of different actors for the multi-sectoral response requires the involvement of different actors - Government, civil society and the private sector at different levels. In addition the promoting of leadership at the three levels is one important factor for the success meeting the MDG, Goal 6.
The private sector brings its comparative advantage in the different programs, ranging from awareness to workplace and health service delivery interventions. The private sectors indeed can mobilize resources, and offer choices for the community among others.
What does the GF have to do?
- Promotion of the social responsibility of the Private sector in fighting the three diseases (through the CCM, LFA or other channels should be done at the country level particularly for the private sectors-we may need a communication strategy to address this issue).
- Development of specific guidelines for the private sector in accessing and implementing GF programs, I am thinking of like a code of conduct - balancing of the services provided and be still financially successful and also redefining the role of the GF in interfacing with the private sector.
- GF can help in identifying opportunities for private-Government and civil society partnership as well as collecting data, documenting and disseminating through the CCM of existing workable private sector initiatives in the fight against the three diseases.
- Enhance the sustainability of structures at the national level-by strengthening the networking of the private sectors.
- Involving the private sectors all through the process of planning, implementation and monitoring and evaluation

Re: Week 4: The private sector and the implementation of programs
Hi Mr Srivastava,
Thank you very much for all the good words and principles. What about HOW? I’m eager to more about your thinking on the mechanisms. You might know that one of the better CCM that we have is globally is Indian one, at least the process is better than many. How about other countries? Why we are so called developing countries? Nothing but we are poor in mentality, and if so what is fate of ‘good’ words or principles.
I’m rather in favor of step-wise processes, mechanisms or SoP [standard operating procedures*], and last but not the least is ‘enforcement’ by the GF.
For example, if we want to have greater gender equity, I would go for ‘gender-scoring’ of the proposal and it has to pass through scoring have to attain certain grade as we decide. Well, proposal is passed through the gender scoring, what is the guarantee that it would be addressing the gender disparity at the impact level? Nothing but deploying strict QA/TQM [quality assurance/total quality management*] agents for certain stages of project implementation especially during detail intervention and implementation designing including materials development.
Wish to listen more from you. Best regards.
Ali

Re: Week 4: The private sector and the implementation of programs
Global-Fund concept & structure includes country partnership in the form of Government agencies, Non GOVT. organisation & private sectors. Government agencies have constitutionally functionaries at all levels in collecting information of GF program & process implementation. CCM could be defined by all above participants components in procurement of proposals. Under varied socio-economic condition & factors in countries, ethical promotion role of private sectors could give effective implementation of GF programs.
In performing GF program, understanding of external & internal constraints in a country, optimum utilization, socio-economical subjective objections, are absolutely necessary. Government agencies, non-government organisation can not take up all social, political, technical, cultural commitment & responsibilities. In above circumstances logical answer is promotion of private- sectors.A logical private sector could give accountable institutional, infrastructural support to GF program if its practices favour ethical promotion, appropriate bio-behaviour approaches, product-mix for fulfillment of political & administrative commitment, qualitative approaches, monitoring & effective supply management. Role of private sectors could be expanded by CSS,community mobilization, specific testing network & evaluation of GF promotional policies, analysis of sociological factors, influencing factors for GF product & services suitability, prevention of GOVT. ineffective cycle & maximizing the GF implementation feasibility.
For accessibility of GF process, GF program should develop procedural approaches for private sectors.
1.Provide GF specific structure,relation ship behaviour& direction.
2.Let private sectors do it.
3.Performance evaluation, reinforcing bio-behaviour & modifications.
Regarding promotion of good practice with support of private sectors, understanding of heterogeneous sociological factors/conditions of various countries are essential. Universal pricing or selling ,universal promotional instruments, communication, coverage, selection, geographic flexibility may not applicable in differ & less GNP countries.
In above sociological variables countries, private sectors could give specific coverage, selectivity, cost effective, organisational flexibility, clear perception support in implementation of GF program.
Thankyou

Re: Week 4: The private sector and the implementation of programs
Dear members,
We received the following post from Gausik in Zimbabwe in response to last week's discussion on Civil Society. He makes an interesting point on the private sector, relevant to this forum, and would therefore like to share it with you.
Best regards,
Alastair Green
e-Forum Facilitator
"The private sector has been involved in some countries but their role
has been limited.
However, the role of the private sector should be further strengthened
to advocate for the private sector finacing malaria control in
countries. The private sector would also be useful in providing local
technical support (funded by the private sector) in areas where the
private is best suited to do - development of focused IEC materials.
This is in recognition of the fact that the private sector may not
always have the technical expertise required to implement for example
IRS programmes." (Excerpt from a contribution posted by Gausik on 7 July).

Re: Week 4: The private sector and the implementation of programs
As we all know the private sector cannot be done without in the service to humanity, which is mainly money oriented and such involving them in the implementation of Global Fund programs is very important in the promotion of good practices.
When implementing programs, the private sector should be made to be on the various implementation boards for every specific program they have imputed much funds into, so that the private sector will feel part of the program and also make them know how the funds are being utilised.
Also, the private sector should be made aware of the people and organisations their funds and products have been given to so that they can even monitor these people and organisations themselves, so that they can also give advise on their products and funds.

Re: Week 4: The private sector and the implementation of programs
Regarding challenges in implementation of GF program with support of private sectors, I would like to give reference of discussion DEMAND. No. of challenges are concerned with socio-economical,socio-political,socio-technical, human environment, human genome status, social responsibility, in developed & developing countries.
In mobilization of resources, general control development accessment, ready acess of ethical services, products, awareness, infratructure, private sectors could give implementation& effective functions in GF program.
"Demand in many countries is a comprehensive
term which requires analysis of human development, human conditions,
prevailing climatic conditions in countries,social,religious &
economical status of countries,status of human development in various
parts of world.
No.of challenges do exists with above all factors.M.D.G (United nations
resolution)has given targets for socio-economical upliftment ,
environmental sustainability,health infrastructure,living standard,
trade in developing & third world countries.
In developing & third world countries demand could be identified by
functions of public distribution system,efficiency,social approaches,
accesssment of essentials of survival,capacity building in pandemic
affected countries with access of cheap vaccines,human genome projects,
accessment of anti-AIDS drugs,anti- cancer drugs,life saving drugs,
diagnostic kits& equipment with removed custom & excise duty.
Improved health information system, R&D, surveillance network,
investigational modalities,rural professionals,distribution of
long term protection vaccines ,sanitary conditions,environmental
degradation are major challenges in many countries for effective
health infrastructure.
In above countries Global-fund & other partners with voluntary&
health administrative agencies at national & state level can give
collaborative, innovative, cost effective, capacity building support
to general development control regulation,awareness of international
health regulations,health infrastructure,system,distribution &
general health protection measures." Post by Ashish Srivastava on 29 May.

Re: Week 4: The private sector and the implementation of programs
Dear members,
The private sector should be brought on board in strengthening the programs on the implementation on HIV/AIDS and while working with the private sector they should be made to account for all the funds submitted to them since we know most of the private sector they have their own goal in most cases they are after profits.
The challenged I am facing it is very difficult to facilitates myself on the AIDS programs the most recently is the just concluded implementers meetings in Kampala Uganda I was made to meet all my expenses.
The Global Fund should should be able to fund the private sector and clear budget line on how to use the funds be given to the private sector.
It is upon all the respectives countries to bring on Board all the implementers together so that they streamline how to support the active implementers.

Re: Week 4: The private sector and the implementation of programs
I think that the private sector can play an crucial player in the implementation of the programs. But its role will be different from country to country.
Whereas we have a limited experience in Yemen in involving private secror in DOTS Expansion esp, in DOT. This experience has shown us an important improving in the Quality of DOTS. Furthermore, we are playing to expand our cooperation with the private sector in order to increase the case detection rate and provide high quality of DOTS.

Re: Week 4: The private sector and the implementation of programs
Private sector health providers are the backbone of health service delivery specially in the developing countries as the public sector cannot meet the requirements of the masses. Private sector can be strengthened by making their associations and through their capacity building by training and involving them in health education besides just provision of curative services. This will also not require much funds as the private sector providers can be given other incentives like increased patient volume or some sort of certification system.
This is exactly what our organization Integrated Health Services did to sustain school health systems in remote areas. We trained the private sector doctors in school health provision and allocated them areas where they covered schools and did medical checkups, awareness activities, etc. In return they gained repute and got a large volume of children as their patients. While the children got free checkups besides subsidized treatment facilities. So all stakeholders benefitted through just simple networking!
Similarly large non-medical corporations can also be involved through motivating them to do community friendly activities thus gaining good repute in the market.
